Hi, we are
Rachel & David. 

Our office has successfully handled Social Security disability claims for clients in Michigan for nearly thirty years.

Let Us Help You Get Your Social Security Disability Benefits

We recognize that no one wants to be filing for Social Security Disability benefits. The process can be confusing, frustrating, and overwhelming for someone trying to navigate the system on their own.


We are here to provide you with step-by-step guidance during these difficult times.

The Backstory

Our office was founded as the Law Office of David S. Hankus in the early 1990's. Today, we are proud to work together as a father-daughter team.

Rachel grew up spending time in the office, and made the decision to follow David's footsteps by attending law school and then joining the practice as a licensed attorney in 2015.

In January 2023, the office transitioned from the Law Office of David S. Hankus to the Law Office of Rachel M. Pinch.

We strive to provide personalized attention to each client, ensuring that each client is diligently and vigorously represented.

MEMBERS OF

Not only did David Hankus help me with getting disability several years ago, but now, Rachel Pinch made a difficult situation easy for my son. The relief I feel, as a Mom, watching the pain and depression he went through and now knowing he is going to be able to move on from this, due to Rachel's knowledge and compassion, is unexplainable. Thank you so much, Rachel and David.
